Answer:

The answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]}

Solve the L.H.S part:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&2\\3&4\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]

After calculating the L.H.S part compare the value with R.H.S:

\left[\begin{array}{cc}a+2c&b+2d\\3a+4c&3b+4d\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}6&5\\ 19&8\end{array}\right]} \\\\

\to a+2c =6....(i)\\\\\to b+2d =5....(ii)\\\\\to 3a+4c =19....(iii)\\\\\to 3b+4d = 8 ....(iv)\\\\

In equation (i) multiply by 3 and subtract by equation (iii):

\to 3a+6c=18\\\to 3a+4c=19\\\\\text{subtract}... \\\\\to 2c = -1\\\\\to  c= - \frac{1}{2}

put the value of c in equation (i):

\to a+ 2 (- \frac{1}{2})=6\\\\\to a- 2 \times \frac{1}{2}=6\\\\\to a- 1=6\\\\\to a =6 +1\\\\\to a = 7\\

In equation (ii) multiply by 3 then subtract by equation (iv):

\to 3b+6d=15\\\to 3b+4d=8\\\\\text{subtract...}\\\\\to 2d = 7\\\\\to d= \frac{7}{2}\\

put the value of d in equation (iv):

\to 3b+4 (\frac{7}{2})=8\\\\\to 3b+4 \times \frac{7}{2}=8\\\\\to 3b+14=8\\\\\to 3b =8-14\\\\\to 3b = -6\\\\\to b= \frac{-6}{3}\\\\\to b= -2

The final answer is "\bold{\left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-2\\ -\frac{1}{2}&\frac{7}{2}\end{array}\right]}".

kozerog [31]

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that all are children(answer will be adult ticket at the end)

124×5.20=644.8

872.5-644.8=227.7

8.50-5.20=3.30

227.7÷3=75.9=75 tickets(no decimal cause tickets are sold as a whole)

A middle school has 470 students. Regina surveys a random sample of 40 students and finds that 28 have cell phones. How many stu
Dmitry [639]
So from that i think the formula would be
\frac{x}{470}  =  \frac{28}{40}
so then you find "x" by multiplying 470 x 28 which equals 13,160. Then you divide 13,160 by 40 which equals 329.
X=329
329 students are likely to have phones
